Straight-board players can occasionally hit a good backhand, but this does not mean that they should give up on attacking a straight-board backhand.

Marin magically skimmed a few boards with his backhand, but Kong Zhendong's style of playing to press his backhand did not change, but pressed it more aggressively.

Through the trial of a few balls, Kong Zhendong finally confirmed that it turned out that Ma Lin, who was in the Lingnan Provincial Team at this time, had a really weird and unpredictable backhand.

Because Marin's backhand was suddenly skimmed and scraped, Kong Zhendong's maneuvering advantage in the service round was obviously challenged.

After then rotating serves, Kong Zhendong continued to use a combination of feints and short splits in Marin's serve, mainly anti-opponent and take the initiative.

"What a wonderful game! At the beginning of the first game, both men were able to crush their opponents on their own serve games to form an even balance. Unexpectedly, in the second game, both of them thought of ways to limit each other's serves. By stealing points on the opponent's serve, the two formed a balance of power again. Coach Wu Jingping was amazed.

Yin Xiao frowned and said: "Ma Lin's backhand killer is obviously very threatening, why doesn't Zhendong change much, or continue to move back and forth between the front and backhand?" ”

As Kong Zhendong and Marin both found a way to crack the opponent's service round, the opponent was the main opponent, so the number of rounds of each ball increased, and although the score rose as closely as the first game, the game process was much slower than the first game.

Although Kong Zhendong's serve wheel was skimmed by Ma Lin several times in a row, his intention to move back and forth with his forehand and backhand was unwavering and he suppressed it more resolutely.

Wu Jingping frowned and said, "I felt something." Have you paid attention, Marin's backhand long glue monster hits, the raid effect is really good, if you score directly, it is a god ball. However, if this board can't be beaten, the connection of the entire style of play, whether it is the transition between offense and defense, or the transition between the forehand and backhand, will be very unsmooth. ”

Mi Xingbang nodded and said: "This kind of backhand assault can win a few points, but it is harmful to the entire playing system, there is no continuous killing attack, and Kong Zhendong can only be dispatched back and forth." ”

Wu Jingping said: "Coach Mi, after I apply for the National Championships, I will recruit Ma Lin into the national team. But after entering the national team, I hope he will change to a backhand. Although he is now playing long rubber monsters and occasionally grabbing points, he can't fuse with his forehand to form a stable continuous offensive and defensive transition, I think his running and power are very suitable for the straight board and two-sided anti-rubber play, which should be able to break through in him. ”

Mi Xingbang was noncommittal, he needed to think about it. It has been seven or eight years since the anti-glue reform on duty, and batch after batch of good seedlings have been practiced, including young people like Wang Fei and Qin Zhijian, none of them have achieved groundbreaking success.

This game is strikingly similar to the first game, except that the means of scoring have changed from serving to receiving serve, and the score has come to 15 draws again.

Kong Zhendong weighed the table tennis ball, calmed his breath, this half of the second game was even more tired than the first game, he stared at Ma Lin who was slightly gasping on the opposite side, his plan was resolutely implemented for a game and a half, is it to see the dagger now, or wait for the next game?

Kong Zhendong decided to test the ball.

The coaches of both sides watching the game from the sidelines, the coaching staff of the national team, and the retired table tennis celebrities are all paying attention to this service round, and these five points will once again decide the fate of this game, and even the whole game.

Kong Zhendong's serve is still dispatched, but the backhand arc is pressed very low, and there is no room for long rubber skimming, so Marin chooses to pull the ball sideways and forehand.

Kong Zhendong met the ball, pulled the diagonal line back, and attacked Marin's forehand.

Marin made up for the forehand position in time, pulled the ball back on the forehand side, and Kong Zhendong pulled the backhand diagonal again to score.

Kong Zhendong's exquisite skills of pulling two diagonal lines in a row won bursts of applause from the fans at the scene.

The coaches and celebrities on the scene all saw that something was wrong, but they could only understand it.

The temptation of this ball, Kong Zhendong laughed with satisfaction.

It's done! Sure enough, don't you have to wait until the third game?

In the next serve, Kong Zhendong's body tensed, his body shrank, and then his body slammed into one, just a quick serve, but it seemed to be at the limit.

The ball starts with the tackle of the serve and all the tempo is noticeably faster.

The coaches and celebrities on both sides understood a lot at this time, after Kong Zhendong suddenly accelerated the rhythm of dispatching the ball, the small motor that was originally running like the wind became a little clumsy and ineffective.

The one who laughed the most on the sidelines was Coach Li Muhua: "Along the way, Zhendong was always beaten by the opponent in the decisive game with a lack of physical fitness. It turned out that he was digging a hole from the first shot of the first game to control the ball. He wasn't afraid to go toe-to-toe with Marin's score and every beat. No matter how much the other party can run, he is only 13 years old, and he is betting on the other party's physical collapse. ”

Coach Zheng said: "I also understand that the ball was wrong just now. Zhendong pulls two diagonal diagonal diagonal in a row is indeed exciting, but how did he succeed? In front of him was Marin's backhand pullback and forehand blast. In the first game, Marin was at his peak fitness. The forehand burst is scored directly. Now he can not only follow, but also return high-quality landing points to control the ball, proving that Marin's forehand volley power has been greatly weakened. ”

On the other side of the court, Mi Xingbang and the three were also discussing Kong Zhendong's tactics with high interest.

Wu Jingping said: "The physical fitness of a group of straight board athletes is reflected in the reduced speed of running pace, but Marin is maintained well, so it cannot be reflected. I didn't expect Zhendong to judge it through the strength of the opponent's forehand smash, how clever! ”

Mi Xingbang said: "The disadvantages of Marin's backhand connection loophole you said are also reflected, if his backhand has a stable connection ball ability, he will not suffer so much loss in the transfer of the ball in both games, and after entering the national team, his backhand improvement depends on you." ”

Kong Zhendong's tactics of hitting Marin's physical shortcomings were set at the beginning of the game. Because Marin, whether it is the way of playing with the whole Taiwan or the offensive way of scoring with a forehand, he needs the support of strong physical fitness.

In Marin's later games, he often won the championship all the way in the games with few games and a less intensive schedule, but in the top competitions with a dense schedule, he often collapsed in the second half, and the core weakness was physical fitness.

In the first few games, Kong Zhendong was often beaten by opponents according to his physical weaknesses, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and survived, why couldn't Marin do it today?

Because Kong Zhendong's playing style advantage is the ability to hold the ball, as long as he gritted his teeth and held it, his playing style was not deformed, and the landing point was controlled, he could hold on.

However, Marin's style of play relied entirely on running and forehand blasting. When he can't kill a forehand punch, the opponent easily returns the ball into a hold, and his running can't keep up, and it is a matter of time before he loses.

When Kong Zhendong saw him finish the third game and challenge himself with great interest in the fifth game, he buried the tactics that made him physically collapse from the first ball. It's just that Marin has been dreaming of counterattacking the gods, and he doesn't realize it.
